Brightwell Alkalin8.3-P, Powdered Alkalinity Buffer, 500 g
SKU: BW-ALKP500
- Alkalin8.3-P, 500 g, is a powdered, multi-component buffer that raises alkalinity and stabilizes pH at 8.3.
- It is formulated for marine and reef aquariums that need alkalinity supplementation to stay stable.
- Each gram raises alkalinity in 1 US gallon by 12 dKH, giving precise, calculable dosing control.
- Unlike single-component buffers like sodium carbonate, it regulates pH automatically instead of overshooting it.
Powdered Buffer, 500 g, for Stable Alkalinity and pH
Alkalin8.3-P is a multi-component powdered buffer that raises alkalinity in marine and reef aquariums while automatically regulating pH toward 8.3. Unlike single-component KH products such as sodium carbonate, it's a multi-component automatic buffer that regulates pH and makes for a much more stable aquarium. Continued dosing raises pH only until it reaches 8.3, at which point additional product increases alkalinity alone without pushing pH higher.
The powder dissolves into a solution before dosing and provides a source of carbonates, the same compound that makes up most of the aragonite skeletal material reef-building organisms secrete. It's formulated by a marine scientist and made in the USA.
